Today, we’re extremely excited to announce that we have successfully completed Milestone 3: Proof Merging. With the integration of validity proofs, zkSync 2.0 is officially the world’s first-ever zkEVM running on a public testnet.
Many dev teams have been waiting for this: public verification of the validity proofs generated by the rollup & the final piece for the Alpha version of the system. As users transact with zkSync 2.0, these proofs provide a guarantee of the correctness of program execution.

We’ve had fully functional circuits in our dev environment for a while, but this milestone will enable everyone on our testnet to experience our ZK Prover which is fully operational with proof generation, aggregation & verification on-chain happening on the public testnet.

What’s Ahead
Over the next 11 days our team will perform significant testing for proof performance and verification to ensure that we are fully ready to launch on Mainnet on October 28th.
Join us this Thursday, October 20th, at 12 pm ET for an AMA with Chief Product Officer @stevenewcomb and Head of Engineering @anthonykrose, where they will talk about proof merging and the final days on the #marchtomainnet.
There are only 10 days remaining on the #marchtomainnet. Yesterday we achieved a significant milestone, integrating our provers into the system and achieving an end-to-end system running on testnet.
But why do we need a prover? 🧵 (1/5)
To inherit layer 1 security, there must be a way that we can reconstruct the layer 2 state transitions directly from Ethereum. Differently from optimistic rollups (that rely on game theory), zkRollups rely on pure math to attest that state transitions are valid.

On our L2, a set of contracts will organize the transactions into batches & generate proofs for them. Those proofs are sent to a smart contract on L1 to verify that they are valid, ensuring that no transactions inside a batch were altered or contained invalid information.
As we get closer to zkSync 2.0’s mainnet launch, we’re delighted to see the number of projects joining the zkEVM future by launching on our platform. Here are another five updates from our fast-growing ecosystem. #jointhemission

@mesonfi’s cross-chain stablecoin swap protocol is coming to zkSync, and the team explained what the integration will enable for our developer and user ecosystem.
@SatisDEX announced they’re bringing their Multichain Order Book DEX to zkSync 2.0, and explained how user and developer experience are central to the platform’s design.
With 18 days to zkSync 2.0 on mainnet, we're thrilled to share another exciting milestone on the horizon: zkSync's Layer 3 Pathfinder will be released to the public testnet in Q1 2023.
Our Layer 2 will provide the foundation necessary for Ethereum to scale without compromising its security or decentralization. Ultimately, we envision mass adoption happening in Layer 3 and beyond due to unlimited scalability.

zkSync’s Layer 3 is the Next Frontier
As we define Layer 3, we envision a trustless, customizable blockchain ecosystem powered by zkEVM called HyperChains. A starfield of 10X moments will result from Layer 3's limitless scaling and customization.
